While Chad was away at school a few weeks ago, Nana and I took Abigail and Luke to Summerville, South Carolina to visit Pop Pop and Grandma Giet. It was a LONG drive, but so nice to see them even if just for a short time. We also got to catch up with my Uncle Charles and Aunt Ava who kindly let us stay at their house. They have nine grandchildren so there were scads of toys for Abigail to enjoy at their house. She thought it was AWESOME! Here are some pictures from our big adventure.
Our first visit with Pop Pop was GREAT! It started out perfect in Abigail's eyes because Pop Pop quickly offered her some chocolate.
The picture below cracks me up. It is one of Pop's safe in his room where he keeps all of his important things locked up securely. The funny part is that his chocolate and candy stash is included amongst those important things he locks up!
Luke got in on the Pop Pop love and was really good the whole visit.
Another highlight for Abigail was when Pop took her on a ride in his chair. She was so excited and he seemed to be too!

The next day we went to visit Grandma Giet. Unfortunately, Grandma was in the hospital during our visit so we were not able to spend a lot of time with her. Abigail picked out a pretty balloon to take to Grandma in an effort to cheer her up.
There is not much for a toddler to do in a hospital room so we resorted to playing with the gloves for entertainment.
We made one more stop at Pop Pop's and had to wake him up that morning. He wasn't feeling well that day but did his best to put on a good face for Abigail. (We found out later that day he had shingles - no wonder he felt bad!)
Abigail helped him put on his shoes - so sweet!
Once again, he won her over with sweets and produced a sunshine cookie pop that made her day.
Here she and Luke are getting some love before we left to start our journey home.
Thanks Nana for taking us and enduring cranky kiddos and long hours in the car. It was a week full of memories!
